Wendell Hess What basic problems do you see in the school system in any or all levels, and what the would you do to quality of education for any, or all levels? Two of the many problems which need attention are; 1. Schools and school personnel are underutilized. 2. Programs are needed for the handicapped and disadvantaged and maladjusted to reduce dropout and failure rates. The quality of education is basically dependent upon the dequality of educators who termine curriculum, prepare programs and teach students. and facilities School up-gra- the programs must meet need needs of all students who education.

These experiences have given my a sensitivity to educational needs in Davis County. Our school board needs this type of representation. Would you express your views concerning Title IX?

Mr. Udy, at age 31, is married to the former Carol Wheeler and has four children from seven months to seven years. communicating with our legislators and representatives of HEW. I believe in the basic premise that education should be controlled locally and not by the bureaucrats in. or Denver. However, I must admit that some parts of Title IX will be i beneficial for our students. For example, boys should have the opportunity to enroll in cooking and other home management skills. A basic knowledge of auto mechanics would be helpful for all students, regardless of sex, and girts should have the opportunity to compete in competitive sports if they so desire. vice - HE IS a former volunteer with the Juvenile Probation Division of First District Juvenile Court of Utah, was a member of the Utah National Guard, U.S. Army Reserve, Advisory Council of Utah State Vocational and Technical Education Committee and PTA Legislative Chair-ma- n at Farmington ,tary. .

Title IX, in my opinion, contributes very little, if anything, toward the proper and appropriate education of our students.

ShoylA&Q During SssIis Seat On Utah Board Of Education He served an LDS mission for The road back Americans, in world war II, began at Guadalcanal in August of 1942 - thirty-fou- r years ago this month. Japan had struck treacherously, without a declaration of war, on December 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor. WRECKING much of the main Pacific fleet there, the Japanese military steamroller, with overwhelming spirit, train and power (but not always numbers) then moved southward much further west and engulfed American, British and Dutch possessions. The defense of Bataan lasted about six months; the U.S. stronghold in the Philippines was the last to surrender. UP TO that time the Japanese were everywhere victorious. But days after Bataan fell with the surrender of tens of thousands of Americans, the U.S. Navy managed a standoff in the Battle of Coral Sea thousands of miles to the southeast. In June of 1942, by rushing everything it had to Midway, with the advantage of reading secret Japanese codes were knowing a massive attack was coming, the U.S. Navy stunned the Japanese with its great victory at Midway. Four Jap carriers were sunk, three in two hours, in that great American triumph. IT wasnt until August, two months later, that U.S. Marines went ashore on Guadalcanal, in the Solomon Islands, to begin the effort to rollback the Japanese ad- vance. The Japs were building an airfield at Guadalcanal and, when the Marines seized it, effort to remade an all-otake the airfield and island. That terrible campaign, for both sides, lasted almost six months. THE Navy suffered several bitter defeats; dozens of acmajor engagements were tually fought during the campaign. In the end, the Marines and U.S. Army infantry held on, and finally won the strug- gle. From that day onward, the Allied comeback accelerated until, in October of 1944, General Douglas MacArthur led U.S. troops back ashore in the Philippines and eleven months later received aboard the battleship Missouri in Tokyo harbor the Japanese delegation which signed the surrender. ,to the Western States.
